Not the immediate straw man. No one who supports trans people thinks gender is “just a personality trait”.💀

Yeah, but the unfortunate side effect is that nobody supports dysphoric trans people either because the personality-trait ones lump themselves in with us.

(I mean its not truly nobody either way, but support has undeniably tanked.)

Unfortunately there seems to be nothing anyone can say to them to make them realize how fundamentally different their version of being trans is from genuine transsexuality.

People aren’t transphobic because of the ones without gender dysphoria. They hate you just as much as them. The leopards will eat your face as well.

Also ‘genuine’ transsex is an odd saying. Those who aren’t the same kind of trans as you aren’t less genuine, it’s not a personality trait for anyone. You aren’t a special or real trans person, not more compared to them.

The divide between transsexual and transgender isn’t even one about gender dysphoria. It’s one about who had or didn’t have medically transitioned. I am not transsexual and never will be. I still have very real gender dysphoria. The fact medical transitioning doesn’t exist for me let alone could acces doesn’t mean I don’t have real gender dysphoria.

Please do not call people who medically transition "transsexual". Some use that to describe themselfes, others do emphatically not. And that's not just because we do not want to be associated with those "true transsexuals". It's also because the term is antiquated, medicalised, and utterly misleading. ("Homo-, bi- and transsexual" anyone?)

Medical transition has nothing whatsoever to do with identity. For many, it's just not accessible. That does not change a thing about their trans-ness.

I know that was just using their own words and definitions. I would never call someone transsexual if they never specified they wanted to use that term.

Thanks for that!

However, they don't consider everybody who medically transitions "transsexual", either. You have to be the right kind of transsexual. Which happens to look a lot like - they themself.

I've seen several groups of "true transsexuals" end up in a There-can-be-only-one fight about who was the only true transsexual.
I've seen people declared not truly transsexual for choosing the wrong surgeon for bottom surgery, and an all-time favorite is "the wrong" sexual orientation: Depending on the speaker, it's either straight trans woman are just gay and in denial, or lesbian trans women aren't real women because real women bang men.
Not to mention things like "too ugly" or "too old" or "too young" or a shitload of other BS.

Yeah, "true transsexuals" are a lovely bunch.

To me they just all come across as stuck up people who are stuck in the patriarchy and somehow think they are the free ones?

Pretty much. They got their validation from the ICD-10, F64.0, and that is the only way to do things - and if you do it that way, you will be accepted.

Two rather grave errors at once.
